Looking for something

Looking for a "swiss army" knife. Some with a GOOD blade on it, a screw driver and a few other essential tool. I don't want one of the leatherman style multi-tools. Too bulky. Just looking for something that will come in handy for prying small objects, a bottle opener, etc. Maybe something from buck or gerber? Need quality here.

I don't have any pictures to post. If you go to their website you can see one.

You can usually buy one for around $15.00.

How well it will hold an edge? At least as well as knives costing many times more. I keep my knife razor sharp. I carry and use it almost every day. The date that's stamped on it is 1986. I've had it since at least 1987. Most knives that are used this much and kept this sharp would have been wore out buy now. But it's not. The knife looks almost as good as the day it was purchased.

I don't know what the Rockwell hardness is, but, it's not hard to sharpen.

Hope this helps.

Swiss Army is plenty good enough. Wenger or Victorinox are both good brands. I carry on daily, in addition to a belt knife, and a Leatherman.
